For those of us without 200GB of GPU RAM available... How possible is it to do inference loading it from SSD?

Would you have to scan through all 200GB of data once per character generated? That doesn't actually sound too painful - 1 minute per character seems kinda okay.

And I guess you can easily do lots of data parallelism, so you can get 1 minute per character on lots of inputs and outputs at the same time.

I have huge respect for developers at Yandex. It's kind of sad that achievements like these are tainted by the fact that they come from Russia (and I speak as a Ukrainian). I wonder if the permissive license is able to mitigate that.

The achievements aren’t in any way tainted by their nationality, citizenship, sex, sexual orientation, age, etc.

Coming from Russia doesn't mean you agree with government policy. If you saw people get arrested as soon as they start protesting, what would you do?

I hope one day it will be possible to run this kind of models at home.

I was about to comment exactly the same thing. Stuff like this makes me feel so much behind because there's no way I can run this lol.

They hardware they mention can be rented from cloud providers. It’s just that it’s not very cheap.
